ATLANTA (Sept. 30, 2009) – Inspiring Southern Gospel and the heavenly harmonies of quartets will be heard and seen on Saturday nights -- Sunday mornings too -- as the popular Gospel Music Channel (GMC) series’ Gaither Gospel Hour will be seen weekends starting this Saturday, Oct. 3. GMC’s new Gaither schedule:

Saturdays

9:00 PM EST  Gaither Gospel Hour

10:00 PM  EST Gaither Gospel Hour

Sundays

11:00 PM EST Gaither Gospel Hour

                                                   

The majority of the Gaither Gospel Hour series features performances from the sell-out and legendary “Gaither Homecoming” annual concert tours that have drawn millions of fans. The series also includes occasional Gaither-produced specials such as “He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley” and “The Gospel Music of Johnny Cash.” One of the most successful and most honored artists in the history of Christian music, Bill Gaither has received four Grammys, 20 Dove awards, and the first Gold Record ever awarded to an inspirational album. Inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 1982, Bill was recently honored by ASCAP as Christian Songwriter of the Century.
